captioning made possible by johnson & johnson, where quality products for the american family have been a tradition for generations >> osgood: good morning. i'm charles osgood and this is sunday morning. sunday morning with a difference because today we're leaving this studio you have seen so many times in the past and heading into the future. we're punching the fast forward button to see the technologies and trends that are likely to transform all of our lives. but not before we take a look back at yesterday's tomorrow. it turns out the future is not

what it used to be. as mo rocca will show us in our cover story. >> reporter: the world of the future was supposed to be gleaming, fast, full of possibility. >> i grew up expecting to live on the moon, to be able to travel in rockets. i was going to be an astronaut. >> reporter: it didn't exactly turn out that way. >> where is my flying car? we were promised flying cars. >> reporter: ahead on sunday morning, yesterday's vision of tomorrow. >> osgood: start with a drawing in just two dimensions. add the next dimension and what do you have? a futuristic form of printing that can quite literally change our lives. serena altschul will show us how it works. >> reporter: 3d printing. it's a new way of manufacturing that's been used to make everything from toy tractors to electric cars. now researchers are using 3d printing to engineer human

tissue. >> the whole process of printing is completed within about 15 minutes or so. >> reporter: 15 minutes for an ear. >> 15 minutes for an ear. reporter: wow. from new treatments for cancer to some day new organs, your future may be a matter of in some very fine print. ahead on sunday morning, printing the human body. >> osgood: our planet faces a troubled future or so actor jeremy irons believes. he intends to shock us into action as we'll be hearing from tracy smith. >> you're a very strange man. have no idea. reporter: oscar-mining actor jeremy irons is used to making us cringe. >> waste is everywhere at ever-increasing levels. >> reporter: but his latest film about our global garbage problem might be the most cringe worthy yet. >> trash mountain. well over 40 meters in height. >> reporter: ahead on sunday

morning, a chat with jeremy irons about how we're trashing our future. >> and you have no idea. osgood: we earthlings have long wondered, is anybody out there? now at long last scientists are hoping they're on the verge of an answer. they'll be sharing what they've learned so far with barry pederson. >> reporter: have you ever looked up into the night sky and wondered, are we really alone? in 2009, nasa launched a telescope into space to answer that question. >> actual eye astounding what we can do. >> reporter: what have they found? >> sometimes science informs science fiction and sometimes science fiction informs science, right? >> reporter: ahead on sunday morning we join the hunt with sign tiffs asking, is anybody else out there? >> osgood: to sample life in the future all you needed was to meet the jetsons. or so they had tv audiences

believing a half a century ago. this morning lee cowan puts the cartoon promise to the test. >> reporter: it's impossible to talk about the future without talking about one very familiar family. the jetsons supposedly lived in the year 2062, some 50 years from now on the calendar. but in many ways, it's still worlds away. >> it's something that is not jal tick but is also still very futuristic for us. >> tickets, tickets. reporter: our jetsonian expectations later on sunday morning. >> this is more like it. osgood: we'll have those stories and much more. first let's go to don dahler in the news room for the sunday morning headlines. >> good morning. here are the headlines for sunday, july 14, 2013. not guilty was the verdict reached last night by a jury of six women in the trial involving the death of florida teenager trayvon martin. martin, who was unarmed, was

shot to death in an altercation with neighborhood watchman george zimmerman back in february of 2012. correspondent mark strassman reports from sanford florida on the verdict and the reaction. >> please be seated. reporter: jurors reached this moment after 16 hours of deliberation. >> we the jury find george zimmerman not guilty. >> reporter: not guilty of murder and not guilty of manslaughter. the jury of six women agreed prosecutors had not proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt. zimmerman took hands with his lawyers. behind them in the gallery his wife shelly went. trayvon martin's parents were not in the courtroom when the verdict was read. outside the courthouse 100 demonstrators reacted bitterly. most of them wanted a murder conviction. people also protested the verdict as far away as san francisco. since zimmerman shot the unarmed teenager 17 months ago, this racially charged case and its claim of self-defense have divided american public opinion.

mark omara is one of zimmerman's defense lawyers. >> obviously we are ecstatic with the results. george zimmerman was never guilty of anything except protecting himself in self-defense. i'm glad that the jury saw it that way. >> prosecutors looked ashen after the verdict was read. the state prosecutor. >> it boils down you have a 17-year-old kid who is minding his own business wearing a hoody and gets accosted, gets followed by an individual who wants to be a cop. >> reporter: tracy martin, the teenager's father tweeted his reaction. even though i am broken hearted my faith is unshatterd. i will always love my baby tray. don? >> mark strassman. actor cory monteith was found dead yesterday in a vancouver hotel room. still no word on a cause of death. monteith was 31. texas governor rick perry he'll sign a new restrictive abortion

bill into law and claims it will withstand court challenges. texas state senate approved the bill this weekend. it prohibits abortion after 20 weeks and places new limits on doctors and abortion facilities. a six-year-old buried under 11 feet of sand in indiana on friday is said to be responsive and is expected to survive. the boy was playing at a do you know on the lake michigan shore when it collapsed. it took rescuers more than three hours to dig him out. the child was found within an air pocket in the sand. now the forecast. most of us should expect typical july warmth with storms likely in the southeast and the plains. the week ahead will bring more midsummer heat as well as monsoon-like rains out west. >> osgood: next. imagine how wonderful it would be to live in a house like this. >> osgood: the future, a short history. >> what was a sandy beach... osgood: and later, jeremy

irons. >> ... has been replace,,,,,,,,,

>> osgood: yesterday's tomorrow was a wondrous place, full of amazing gaj hes and technologies to change our lives. well, aate lot of the things we expected did happen, but there are also things that happend that we never expected at all. our cover story is reported now by mo rocca. >> the world of tomorrow: trains

zooming coast to coast via vacuum tube. gleaming cities in the sky. and of course flying cars. that was what the future was supposed to hold for us. >> i grew up expecting to live on the moon, to be able to travel in rockets. i was going to be an astronaut. when 2001 came out, there was a future that looked really possible. 30-odd years we could probably have space stations and passenger liners run by pan am. >> reporter: pan am doesn't exist anymore. all his life writer and illustrator ron miller dreamed of exploring space. >> we were going to build a resort on mars. >> reporter: he's had to settle for imagining it. >> mars has the wonderful tornadoes. i feel in a way i was promised this future. but it has never paid off. ♪ there's a great big beautiful tomorrow ♪ ♪ shining at the end of every

day ♪ >> the fair was a fair of the space age. >> reporter: architectural historian got his first glimpse of that big, bright beautiful world of tomorrow when he was five years old and visited the 1964 world's fair in new york. so church like. he took us into the fair's hall of science. you're five years old and all your circuits are firing. >> of course. it's like i want to live in this future. >> reporter: a future that was already happening. which rock is this? >> this is the rocket that launched the mercury program. we were literally on our way by the second season of the fair in 1965 men had walked in space so we were seeing progress each year. >> reporter: this was almost proof that the future was possible. >> absolutely. reporter: 50 years on, a lot of the fair's predicts didn't pan out. though it must be said all those log owes were a sign of things to come. the one thing that the world's to come. the one thing that the world's fair definitely got right about the future is the dominating

impact of corporate sponsorship. >> it did. reporter: but wait a minute. we still don't have flying cars. >> we get this all the time. you know, where is my flying car? we were promised flying cars. >> reporter: the editor in chief of popular mechanics said we could have flying cars right now. but the better question is do we want them? >> it's such a great fantasy. it's such a cool idea. there's a company trying to sell some today that work. the problem is that cars and planes are so different. so what you wind up with is a terrible plane that, once you land and try to drive around is a terrible car. >> reporter: popular mechanics has been predicting the future for 111 years now. a lot of the times they nailed it. in 1954 the magazine predicted the flat screen tv. >> it took a long time but we finally got it. >> reporter: but a lot of times they didn't nail it. vacuum tube-powered trains. i mean that's pretty cool. that you could get from new york

to san francisco in an hour. >> a great idea. it would be insanely expensive to build the infrastructure to do it. >> reporter: then there's the future where nothing ever happened. >> imagine how wonderful it would be to live in a house like this. >> the house of the future where everything was more or less plastic. everything could be hosed down for convenience. >> reporter: you know what i always wanted to happen. you saw it in the cartoons. the little pill where you just put water on it and it goes (exploding) into a big turkey dirn. some of these predictions feel like they were conceived by the warner brothers animation team. >> a lot of things were conceived by science fiction writers. >> look up there. the albatross. a fantasy come to life. >> reporter: in the 1880s, jules verne wrote a novel about a propeller-driven air ship. >> a little kid named i gsm or sikorkski read it. he said, howe, i want to go up and build a machine just like this.

>> reporter: yes. he grew up to build a helicopter. another jules verne classic: from the earth to the moon. >> the symbol of founders, of modern astronautics, they all said or they became interested in rocketry and the possibility of flying into space because they read jules verne's book when they were kids. >> reporter: and there's the remarkable case of murray. his 1946 short story imagined a two-way television with a keyboard. >> you would use that to get news, communicate with your neighbors, and use its for research. >> reporter: sounds like the internet. >> precisely. reporter: he also predicted that this technological wonder would have disastrous repercussions. a person could learn the best way to murder his wife or how to build a bomb. the world of tomorrow, as most science fiction writers see it, is a pretty scary place. more distoppia than utopia.

>> most utopias are boring. distopia has to be interesting. in a utopia, everything is already solved. >> this is like an infomercial. exactly. looking back, does it seem that people were more optimistic about the future than they are now? >> sometimes they were a little optimistic in the past and too pessimistic today. disease has fealen around the world dramatically. you know, the cards we drive, the homes we live in are so much more efficient and safer and more capable. but we tend to really romanticize the past and ka at that time throw fiez the present. >> the comic is a great routine. flying one. isn't that great? >> i had to sit on the runway for 40 minutes. oh, my god. really? what happened then? did you fly through the air like a bird? i had to pay for my sandwich. you're flying!

you're sitting in a chair in the sky. >> people take amazing things for granted like my phone is so slow. it's like, wait. your phone is connecting you to the entire world. >> reporter: without a cord and you're walking down the street. >> osgood: ahead... it looks like a child's ear. absolutely. osgood: ... the next dimension.

>> the next dimension in printing. instead of just two dimensions we can now print in three. revolutionizing manufacturing and helping people in some astonishing ways. here's serena altschul. >> reporter: meet claire. she's your typical three-year-old except claire was born without a right ear. and she could be among the first recipients of one of medicine's most cutting-edge technologies, bioprinting. bioprinting is the latest form of 3d printing. imagine using a home printer but instead of working in just two dimensions, this printer creates in three dimensions.

a nozzle lays down a stream of plastic, metal or ceramic, layer after layer it slowly forms an object. everything from toys to cars. even human tissue. >> if you think of any tissue in the body, it's this intricate combination of cells and matrix in just the right particular order. so the idea with bioprinting is that we can impart that organization right from the start. to give this like jello that you might make in your kitchen. >> reporter: recently lawrence, an associate professor of biomedical engineering at cornell university, astonished the world when he printed an actual living human ear. >> the whole process of printing is completed within about 15 minutes or so. >> reporter: 15 minutes for an ear. >> 15 minutes for an ear. reporter: wow, just order one up. the printer deposits layers of

living cells forming the shape of a small ear. within minutes the cells begin to grow and bind to one another. >> this is one that we have grown in an incubator in the lab for a couple of months actually. >> reporter: oh, my gosh. it's really clearly... reporter: it looks like a child's ear. >> absolutely. reporter: when the ear is finally implanted underneath the skin, it will actually grow like a normal ear. currently the printed ears are an animal trials. >> oh, my gosh, it has the real feel of tissue. he modeled his ear after his daughter's ears with the hopes of treating children born without one or both ears, a rare condition. right now, the best treatment is sculpting rib cage cartilage into an ear. claire's mom, kim, has been considering the procedure for

her daughter. >> they obviously have to take out rib cartilage from her chest. it can be up to six surgeries and it's painful. >> reporter: for now de vein tries to hide claire's missing ear but she's hopeful for the promise of bioprinting. >> if her hair is down you wouldn't notice her ears really. she's lucky. i wouldn't put her through painful surgeries if iblgd... if it was five years. >> reporter: she may not have to wait that long. a company based in san diego is already printing human blood vessels and other tissues for drug research. their printer, the first commercial bioprinter, is being used in labs across the country like these at the knight cancer institute at oregon health and science university. >> there's a camera right here. reporter: professor is printing identical breast cancer

tumors. each tumor will be treated with a different drug. >> this will allow us to actually in realtime get a biopsy from a patient's tumor. then we can load the printer with the different cell types and actually reprint the person's tissue and then in realtime within a week be able to test it and see what it responds to. >> reporter: seers thinks within a year the printer could be used to help figure out which drug can best target an individual's cancer, leading to customized and successful cancer treatment. >> i'm really real he'll excited about this because it could revolutionize how we do personalized medicine and treatment. >> reporter: and she isn't the only one excited. >> people are very interested in this for things like alzheimers and parkinsons as well as motor defects of the spinal cord. printing is a potentially blockbuster development because patterning the cells in a way that makes that the body needs to pattern is is real he'll

critical. this is a fantastic tool to be able to do that. >> reporter: from new treatments for cancer to some day new organs, your future may be a matter of some very fine print. >> osgood: coming up, the shape of things to come. in the nation, sometimes bad things happen.

in ways large and small, we humans are still evolving. which has led us to wonder what the future holds or four descendents generations from now. dr. jon lapook has been looking into that. >> in the year one million b.c., it is thought the first homo sapien marriage occurred. >> reporter: it's good for laughs in the movies, but fact is we do change. >> it was shortly followed by the first homosexual marriage. >> reporter: just think how different we are from, say, half a million years ago. how do i differ physically from the neanderthal man. >> you're not as squat as he is. reporter: rob is a curator at the american museum of natural history. >> i didn't mean to say you're scwat at all but you're not squat like he is. you're not as robust in the rib cage as he is. >> reporter: these changes are the result of a process called natural selection. the key force in evolution. it's the way our genes increase

the odds of survival of the species. passing on desirable traits from parent to child. it helps explain how humans gain the upper hand over the neanderthals who came before us. steve sterns is a yale university evolutionary biologist. >> let's say there was a neanderthal right here and there's me. who is going to win an arm wrestle? >> i think the neanderthal will probably take you down, but i think that as soon as the humans in the area found out about that, they would ghettoing and three or four of them would gang up on the neanderthal. >> reporter: are we still evolving? are genes going to change in the coming years? >> absolutely. reporter: it's the evolution of genes shaped by the world around us that will cellment the human being of tomorrow. take, for example, these of global travel. it's already broken barriers when it comes to selecting a mate. over time, that means racial differences will lessen. >> your descendents are probably

going to have darker skin, darker eyes. there will probably still be a lot of variation in our facial features. >> reporter: blondes and redheads might become endangered species. signs of revolution are also evident in the human jaw. our jaws are much smaller now that we no longer need to chew through tough nuts and roots. and then there's our hair. millions of years ago long before our forebearers wore clothing, hair was essential insulation. some day we're likely to have less of it especially if sexual selection dictates that hairless men and women are more attractive. coo there be a little shift towards us being a little wimpier? >> i would imagine that that shift probably happened over the last 5,000, 10,000 years. >> reporter: and sterns says as our world continues to evolve, we morph along with it. >> culture changes so quickly. if you were to go back to, say, 1920 and ask anybody, are you going to predict computers?

are you going to predict i-pads? nobody would have any idea of that. >> reporter: progress that's both a blessing and a curse. >> i think that it may be impairing our memory because we delegate so much to it that we used to have to remember. >> reporter: on the other hand, since we don't have to remember so much, maybe our brains will evolve in other areas. so you think in the future we'll be more emotionally intelligent than we are now. >> i would certainly hope so. humans are going to change genetically to be able to interact with each other better in a social context. because we've only started to do that. there hasn't been very much time to adapt to being social. it's a movie. and we're in the middle of the plot. >> reporter: do you have any sense how the plot ends? >> 99.9% of all species on the planet are extinct. >> reporter: but there's plenty of time to beat the odds. and think about what comes next. in your wildest imagination, have you ever fantasized about

where we might be headed? >> oh, i have thought a lot about whether we could become machine man-machine hybrids. >> reporter: what do you think. our problem is no longer how to acquire information but how to make sense out of it. >> reporter: the person who can process that information, that person will have an evolution ear advantage. >> they'll certainly have a technological advantage. i think whether or not it translates into evolutionary advantage depends a bit on what people like. >> osgood: still to come, we google eric schmidt. and layer, is anybody out there? ,

>> the future is now. fast forward with sunday morning. here again is charles osgood. >> osgood: connecting us with each other in ever newer ways is the quest of all of our high-tech wizards. high on the list of those innovators you will find the google guy who recently played host to our rita braver. >> welcome to google. reporter: thank you so much. this is our new york building. we've got roughly 3,000 people. >> reporter: he's considered one of the most influential architects of the internet. after a dozen years helping

build google where he's now executive chairman into an international powerhouse. >> this is the original i.b.m. personal computer. >> reporter: but at 58 eric schmidt still remembers struggling with the original i.b.m. personal computer some 0 years ago. >> it used little floppy disks that went in here. they were always breaking. to give you an idea, your computer, the one that you have on your phone, is about 100,000 times more powerful and has about a million times more disk storage than this. >> reporter: and these dinosaurs now on view in google's new york offices are a reminder of how quickly technology can change. schmidt says in the future we'll do most of our computing on our mobile devices with apps that offer a new range of services. >> they'll make suggestions to you. they'll say, erb, you're in your office. you should be working. or it's lunchtime. or you're walking down the

street and it will say, eric, you need new pants. the pants on the left store are cheaper than the ones on the rite store. >> reporter: google is already working on a new generation of cars that can drive themselves and schmidt predicts many more advances. in the bookies just cowritten, the new digital age. >> announcer: these are the voyages of the starship enterprise. >> reporter: example. devices like something out of a science fiction show that bring three dimensional sounds and images right into a room. >> exit. reporter: you're telling us that things like a hollow-deck like from star trek are going to occur in our lifetime. >> with your permission what happens is these devices will have a memory of where you were and what you did. you'll go into a room and recreate the memory of the world around you. you'll have that tremendous feeling of where you were and what you do. in our book we talk about there

will be devices that you can send to the concert to watch the concert for you while you're sitting at home taking care of the kids. you'll have the same experience and with a technology, you can feel the pounding, right? as you're sitting in your living room. >> reporter: but there is a down side to the new digital age as well. schmidt predicts that we will have have to work harder to guard our personal information from identity theft as crooks get savvier. >> when we first started building the internet we didn't even have passwords. because we trusted everybody. we never figured that criminals would show up on the internet. can we just get rid of them now? >> even more troublesome is the scenario he paints for a nation, a future where virtual armies become as important as real ones. to cope with a new era of permanent cyber warfare. which he says the chinese are already waging. >> there's evidence that china is busy stealing the intellectual property of american firms to help compete

with them. there's also evidence that they're going into our government and newspapers for various human rights violations and other things. >> reporter: is there anything that can be done about this? i mean it's ongoing. >> it's always going to happen. the best thing to do is to strengthen your defenses. i worry about the u.s. government because it's so large and many of its computers are down-rev, not up up to date. >> reporter: as for the issue of china and other countries like north korea which schmidt recently visited blocking their own citizens from using the internet, schmidt believes people will find ways to get online. >> it will take special techniques. people are hungry for information. >> reporter: and as the hunt for the boston bombers showed the world of digital technology was increasingly providing new methods for tracking terrorists. >> google is a different

culture. >> reporter: on google's roof top deck where you can see the new world trade center going up, schmidt reflected on how much things have changed. >> two of my good friends died in the world trade center so to me the rebilling of the world trade center is a symbol of renewal. i often wonder in the '09s if we had the tools and techniques today, would we have seen it? would the computers have seen the patterns in the ways we didn't then. >> reporter: he believes that technology and the way we use it has the ability to make us safer in the future. >> my message is that we're all connected and if we're all sort of paying attention, we can see this and get ahead of it. i really do believe that. >> osgood: coming up. this is thomas jefferson's library. >> osgood: a collection like none other. 9 out of ten? that's great. ♪

>> osgood: saving books and other cultural items for posterity is what the library of congress is all about. and in many ways it now does so is the story martha teichner has to tell. >> reporter: the difference between carol hismith and the rest of the thicket of photographers in washington clicking away at the cherry blossoms is that her images will be preserved for posterity. >> things are changing. for the good and the bet best. it's important to catch that. now, doo i know what will be important? no, i don't. i'm clueless. >> reporter: can you go anywhere without automatically taking pictures? >> no, no. reporter: hismith is at work on a decades-long project

photographing all 50 states and the district of columbia. her pictures, thousands of them, are going to the library of congress free for anyone to use. >> if people are using my images now, i want them to. but i'm not living for today. i'm really living for 100 years from now. >> reporter: which is exactly what the library of congress is about. preserving the past and the present for the future. it is the largest library in the world. walk in and prepare to be in awe. there is a gutenberg bible in perfect condition. a draft of the gettysburg address in lincoln's handwriting. the earliest map with the name "america" printed on it from 1507.

the library contains more than 155 million items. founded in 1800 for members of congress to use. >> this is thomas jefferson's library. >> reporter: the library bought library. >> reporter: the library bought thomas jefferson's books nearly 6500 of them after its original collection was burned by the british in the war of 1812. >> we pull volumes from this collection, between 15 and 20 times a week. yes, it is still heavily in use. >> reporter: one of the most requested according to the communications director is jefferson's koran. >> you can see it was published in 1764. >> reporter: may i touch it? wow. it's just astonishing to be touching a book that belonged to thomas jefferson. >> it is is extraordinary. reporter: anybody 16 or older can get a library card. but you can't leave the building with any of its 35 million books

, nearly 14 million photographs, or more than 3 million sound recordings. to name just some of what's here. >> you say what if. a fundamental importance in the best version you can. and you have to say very broadly. >> so help me god. reporter: the librarian of congress is appointed for life. james billington has held the position since 1987. >> you've got to preserve the value of the book culture even as you embrace the new possibilities of the physical culture. >> reporter: so on the library's registry of significant films, you'll find the first screen kiss. and just added, the matrix. the library is currently
